"The only qualification is that people elect him to be the president."

Sadly the exact same criteria that got Trudeau in, in '68.....:lol::lol:

With so many posts about Palin's candidacy for President in 2012, I am curious as to what it is that makes so many people consider her to have credentials qualitying her for president above anyone else. Anyone have answers? Yukon Jack?
She had more credentials on paper than Obama had when he won the Presidency. As I have said before, I do not think she will run in 2012, but she is keeping some worried.

Those qualifications do not qualify her to be the president, YJ. As TenPenny said (and I posted my post without reading his), the sole qualification (other than the trivial ones, he/she much be 35 years old, citizen of USA, born in USA etc.) to become a president is that people must elect you.

I haven't heard of any President, Prime Minister, King, etc. Universities in this world. It is a popularity contest among the powers to be and the people, if anyone wins and does a good job we all are lucky.

That's a common problem these days across all segments of society. Far too many jobs are being filled by the best candidate "on paper"- which most of the time means diddly squat. A heavy duty mechanic is filled by the guy who sends his resume in, in the cleanest envelope................................:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Anybody who thinks Palin is qualified to be president is on drugs. LOL!!

She made Alaska into the biggest welfare state in the Union and cannot even manage her own home. And it is that which makes every Dem want her to run for the GOP.

"Far too many jobs are being filled by the best candidate "on paper"- "

Palin didn't meet those qualifications to be governor.

"Sadly the exact same criteria that got Trudeau in, in '68"

... and Reagan in '80, 84, Bush in '88, and Bushwacko in 2000, 2004.

I understand Hussain Obama was a lousy community organizer and an incompetant Senator on both the state and federal level. So, why would anyone in their right mind think that he would make good president. Obviously, more and more people realize this and the inevitable 'buyer's remorse' is setting in.

And Clinton's success was very largely due to a Republican House. Don't forget that all spending is controlled by the House of Representatives.

So are you admitting that REpublicans are not good at looking after the peoples money?

If that's the case then all blame for Bush's failures should go to Republicans in Congress as well.

I watched both videos and could not find a reference to Koch preferring Palin over Obama.

I also noted that Mr. Koch was disappointed in Obama because he had a year to solve the problems of Al Qaida, North Korea, and Iran and failed to so. Let me understand this? Does Mr. Koch actually think that problems Clinton and Bush could not solve in 16 years could be solved by Obama in one?

Traditionally, the presidency is at its slowest ebb about two years into the first term, that is nothing new. The important question is what happens going forward.

King of flip flops Koch makes about as much sense as does his supporters. And that ain't much.

As always, without context. What is denying coverage to policy holders, if not rationing?

"I'm sorry," says the Insurance adjustor "you've maxed out your coverage. You'll have to wait for the new calendar year to get that heart transplant."

If one is available
...


Or you can take out a second mortgage on your house to cover it...

One step closer to bankruptcy! Hurrah!
